We issue a written proposal covering per-employee pricing, inclusions, statutory costs and the service-level commitments you can expect.

We prepare compliant local employment contracts and gather employee IDs, government numbers and bank details.
Government registration & payroll build
Employees are registered/updated with the relevant government agencies and added to the payroll and funding schedule.
First payroll & activation
The engagement goes live; the first funded payroll cycle runs and the account moves into steady state.

Service ethos & dispute handling
ZTP's service standard is responsive, factual and transparent. These are the principles our team applies every day — and how we resolve the issues that occasionally come up.
Responsive by default
Every client has a named point of contact. Requests are acknowledged promptly and tracked to resolution, with realistic timelines set up front rather than over-promised.
Transparent fund handling
Payroll funding, disbursements and statutory remittances are documented and reconciled. You always know what was funded, paid and remitted — no surprises.
Compliance first
When a request conflicts with Philippine labor law or statutory rules, we say so plainly and propose a compliant alternative — protecting both client and employee.
Employee experience
Employees are treated as our own. Clear contracts, on-time pay and accessible support keep your team engaged and reduce attrition.
Standard dispute resolution path
Common disputes — payroll discrepancies, leave or timekeeping questions, benefit queries — follow a consistent escalation ladder so they're resolved quickly and fairly.
Internal note: align step timings and escalation thresholds with the current EOR SLA and Client Handbook before publishing.
Calculate your EOR costs instantly.
Enter a target net salary, or a budget per staff, plus how many people you're hiring. We'll break down your one-time Initial Invoice and recurring monthly cost — using the same fund structure as the pricing sample above. The EOR fee is $230/staff, and the calculator automatically applies the discounted $150/staff rate once you enter 20 or more staff.
Figures follow the same fund structure as the pricing sample (Security Deposit = 1 month gross + estimated taxes/fees · Prepaid Payroll = 1 month gross · Contingency = 10% of gross · EOR fee $230/staff, automatically $150/staff at 20+ staff · bank fee per disbursement). Statutory contributions (SSS, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG) and withholding taxes are 2026 estimates and vary by salary bracket. Employee statutory and taxes are deducted within the gross salary — they're shown to reveal where each peso goes, not added on top. Exchange rates are indicative. For planning only.
